Research direction

The payload names no files, so start by finding the AddRoom screen in the Makepad UI code and reading how it currently adds rooms. Then look at how the Matrix client calls the room directory API for the homeserver and for matrix.org. Done means the AddRoom screen lists public rooms from both directories. The linked Reddit comment is only background and does not specify the behavior, so confirm the expected UI with the maintainers first.
